It covers so many Next Gen standards, and my students absolutely loved it. One of my sixth grade boys upon entering the ship through the air lock announced "This is the most awesome field trip ever!" IMPORTANT NOTE: This program isn't just for elementary middle school kids. High school and college kids come to experience as well as private adult groups. We are so lucky to have the Challenger Learning Center in our area. There are a few throughout the country carrying on the mission of space exploration that both the Challenger and Columbia crews lost their lives fulfilling. It totally is an inspiration to our next generation of astronaunts. They have a facebook page NevadaChallenger. They share all of the community events and have a large display at the Harrah's Automobile Museum.

Paul and Jenny McFarlane in spaceman blue jumpsuits gave each arrival a warm greeting and split up the touring and questions (even knowing quite a bit of misc questions like solar sunrises and astronaut training -having been to actual space camps) with other workers in blue uniform-shirts/vests. We came due to a pre-opening tour and special film announced on a school flier. (I'm very tempted to recruit my own group of 20+/- friends to run a mission with!!) They have mainly been focused on educational programs through schools with their portable dome or trailer, but with this location can offer an even broader offering of space experiences! Took a bit to find: Located at the Sparks High School campus in (one of many brick buildings) building N7 (look on the doors) on the back/East side of campus. Closest parking is if you park near or under the solar panels next to the modular buildings. They have a banner above their entry door with a side-rear view of the football stadium. Inside: The small foyer has stairs leading up to a classroom area and a short hallway before turning the corner into the "Mission Command station" area (lots of computer terminals that simulate the real space station control you see in movies). A connecting room is where the "Space station" is that has various areas like med bay, air lock/containment, pilot control, etc. There is also a mobile unit (I saw it at the Balloon Races last year) that hosts feature presentations including interactive flight/air races/ space trips (and more I'm sure). I also spied two techy 'Easter eggs' like a Star Trek intercomm (that makes true-to-series sounds) and Hal 9000-like A.I. unit (which I'm told interacts like Siri). A back open multi-purpose area with folding chairs and tables is where they showed a Nasa feature film (not Imax, go to the theater or planetarium if want that show) on a big screen TV and did a small Q&A session. It also has a spacesuit stand-in for kicks and picture posterity. There is only one unisex old-school (literally) bathroom complete with flashing flourescent light (it's the type you have to turn it off then on again to get it to stop but we all know it's not worth the effort and you could be done and out by the time get it right). While not the newest or high-techist looking place they did a great deal under a tight opening budget and I am excited to have a program like this here! Highly endorse!! Various classes and modules can be found on their website.

There are three Mathnasiums in our community, yet the D'Andrea location is the only center I trust…read more Carlo and his staff have created an environment that eliminates the intimidation and anxiety of learning math for all school aged kids. Other centers limit your time and frequency, yet not here. As a parent, it's important to me that my son have as much access to the instruction and curriculum as needed in order to understand and perform in his math classes. He has been going to Mathnasium since elementary school and is now a high school frosh breezing through Algebra 1-2. He'll be taking advanced math courses starting next year and his confidence continues to grow as he masters the concepts. I truly appreciate Carlo's philosophy as well as the kindness and patience demonstrated by his team. My son continues to thrive and he's been recruiting his buddies to join him, which adds another level of commitment in going every week.

Soliciting children in this manner is so insanely immoral. Many parents are reluctant to post images of their children online due to predators, which any child-centered program should understand. For this program to suggest they're not being paid while essentially forcing a trade of free modeling in exchange for an experience is, again, immoral.

I brought my 9-year-old daughter to Radiant Child out of pure desperation. After years of play…read moretherapy, counseling, and psychiatric treatment, she was still living in a constant state of worry. Her anxiety and OCD tendencies had become so overwhelming that she washed her hands until her skin was raw. We felt like we had tried everything, yet nothing seemed to bring lasting relief. Then we started a 12-week program with Whitney. By week four, the compulsive handwashing had completely stopped. By week ten, she accomplished something she'd dreamed about for years but had always been too afraid to do--she got her ears pierced. By the end of the program, she was sleeping peacefully again, willing to try new things, and smiling with a confidence we hadn't seen in years. Most importantly, it felt like we got our little girl back. Our fearless, curious preemie was finally shining through again. As a parent, there is nothing more heartbreaking than watching your child struggle and feeling powerless to help. Radiant Child gave our family hope when we had almost run out of it. If you've tried everything and still feel like you're missing the final piece of the puzzle, please consider Radiant Child. It truly changed our lives, and I will be forever grateful.
